Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade decided to part ways with head coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos, the club announced Thursday.
"This decision was made with only one goal in mind for both parties – that this is in the best interest of Crvena Zvezda at this time", the club said in a statement.
"The club would like to thank coach Ioannis Sferopoulos for everything he has done on Crvena Zvezda bench, and the way he has represented the club on and off the court as a gentleman, and for everything he has done so we raise the club to a higher level together."
Crvena Zvezda, depleted by injuries, opened the EuroLeague campaign with a pair of losses last week, 82-92 at home against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan and 97-88 on the road at FC Bayern Munich. Then, it lost a home game against Zadar in the Adriatic League on Monday.
Sfairopoulos took over Zvezda bench in October 2023, and went on that season to won the domestic triple crown – Adriatic League, Serbian League and Serbian Cup. Last season, he guided the club to a EuroLeague Play-In Showdown, club’s first EuroLeague postseason appearance since 2016.
Zvezda also won the Serbian Cup trophy last season under Sfairopoulos, but missed out on other two domestic championships.
Zvezda next travels to face the reigning EuroLeague champion Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul on Friday.
